Demonstration of the SyncTex failure on TeX Live 2024
This is a demonstration of SyncTeX failure of TeX Live 2024.
You can build the a main.pdf file from the main.tex and fox.tex. Then, you can see the chapter 2 "Fox" is unable to link with LaTeX source for both forward and backward.
This problem was found when I switched from pLaTeX to LuaLaTeX. The original problem was found in a large document bigger than 100pages.
This demonstration is shrank from that document.
- Run following command to build the PDF file.
lualatex -synctex=1 main.tex
- Open the PDF and go to chapter 2 "Fox".
- Try the link with LaTeX source by clicking chapter 2.
- You will see the chapter 2 is unable to link.
You can also see the problem with the pre-build main.pdf and main.synctex.gz in this repository.
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- TeX Live 2024 ( from install-tl-unx.tar.gz )
- LuaLaTeX (LuaHBTex 1.18.0 )
- Document class :
- book
- jlreq
- VS Code 1.88.1 + LaTeX Workshop 9.20.0
- KDE Plasma 6
- TeX Works
| File name | Description |
|---|---|
| main.tex | Main source of LaTeX. |
| rain.tex | Chapter 1. |
| fox.tex | Chapter 2. |
| fig.png | demo figure. |
| main.pdf | pre-build PDF for demo. |
| main.synctex.gz | pre-build synctex file for demo. |
This problem seems to be a problem of LuaLaTeX or SyncTeX rather than viewer, because both LaTeX workshop and TeX works can reproduce in different OS environment.
